'HAIR-WAVING DEVICE.

Application filed vAngus; 13, i926. serial :No.izaase *,Tghis invention relates to hair .curling {or intermediate its ends k3 A-and4, with comb,v

waving devices; the principal object ;being to produce a simple `and efficient ,article whereby the user may give to the hair la pe- 5 .culiar .complex wave yconfimonly known as a Marcelk wave., y Y

Themanner offuse and the various advantages of our invention will fbe obvious aswe proceed. The'invention Consists in the `novel device and 4combinations of features thereof,

illusfrLra-tfed and described, .and `will be more fully set` forth in the claims hereunto ap. Y

in Figures 5 and 6. That is to say, the member B has two side members 1, 1,:parallelv andV spaced apart as'shown, which are joined by the curved, intermediate portion 2. Each side member l is provided on its lower edge2 'sides1,1, The members vBand .C are ipivotally united the same, the` slotted `end of 'the `member Referring to said drawings, it will be ob-V .ber

member C is relativelythinU closed position shown in` Frggfureslv and 4f the lower member C will lie Vbetween the .of :the member B.

as follows: A l suitable apertures -in Athe end portion 4 lof each side -1 and through .the curved, elongatwell as :through washers l.9., `one V0.1.1 each .side of the lend `8. The end portion ..3 ofthemember 'B lis provided which extends through 'both vSides .l asy shown in igure5.

pivot ,pin y6 fis passedthfrough with a locking pin 1 The right jhand'endiof the v.member3B.is i

slightly recessed by l.cutting away the inter-` mediate kmember i2, the .recess forming a shoulder 11 adapted to engage 'the shouldere l. The Vtop and bottom margins of the unj converge to form a blunt pointf13 and 't' e width ofthe member 'C permit itto rest upon kthe locking pin 10 and below the curved whenthedevli'ce is'c'losed. "'FWhen the "device A is thusv closed, sufficient 'space for the hair is afforded between indicated by 14 onFigures 3, 5 and 6.

The top, arcuate margin of the member C is provided, intermediate the pointed and slotted ends, with comb teeth 15. The shape of the teeth 5 and 15 sir.ed,-one such variation being shown at 16 in FigureV 8.

In use, the operator will open the waver A into the position shown in Figure l, insert the member into operative engagement with the strands of hair to Ybe waved and tithe lpointed end is such as to 'Y the members B and C as' Vpart 2 of the member B may be varied as dethen, before attempting to bring the mem y and until the forward end of the slot7 engages the pivot pin 6, then swineV the mem- G about said pivot in 6 and into position within the member thus crimping the engaged strands of hair into the space 14 within the member B, and finally shifting `the member strands of hair waved C longitudinally in the opposite direction, until the pointed or Jforward end V13 of member C will be lockedin member B because resting above the locking pin V10, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5.Y Y

The strands of hairV caughtby the memberl C andV pressed up into the member B are of course undulated and are thus waved. The moving of these. strands forwardly towards the locking pin 10 asthe member is moved, produces that peculiar complex wave characterized by having the individual to the general plane of the lock of hair in which said' strands are associated, thereby producing what is recognized and known asV a Marcel wave. f

The device A is made of Celluloid or other suitable material, is efficient and durable, doesnot easily get out of order, is susceptible oi'rbeing fabricated by easy mechanical operations and therefore made cheaply and is y very neat in appearance.-

Y y otally united i ends of l'said sides the angle of the We claim as our invention:

1. The improved hair waver comprising upper and lower inter-fitting members, pivkt one end, and between which members the strands or" a lock olf-hair are transversely held to forma wave, and means orshifting the lower member longitudinally within'the upper member tolock'the two members together and simultaneously shift margins of theupper member and the upper margin of the .lower member being provided with comb-like teeth. f

2. The improved hairwaver comprising an upper, longitudinally curved, arcuate mem-i ber having parallel, spaced apart sides and an integral, curved, intermediate part, a pivot pin vuniting-.the sides at one end of said member, a locking pin connecting the other CA swing about said pivot into and out of in planes atan angle held hair strands, the lowerl 'and comb-like teeth c operative relation with the lock pin may Y not swing about the pivot pin.

3. In a hair waver, an upper member of Celluloid, bent longitudinallyinto arcuate fornil and having a rounded intermediatel part and two integral sides, parallela-nd spaced apart, and provided with comb-like teeth on the curved lower margins of said sides, and a lower member, relatively thin, arcuate shaped longitudinally, having a blunt point at'one end and a slottedcpart at the opposite end,com'blike teeth on the upper margin between the two ends, and'means for pivotally uniting the upper and lower members, comprising a pivot pin passing through the sides of the upper member near one end thereof and through the slotted end of the lower member, said slot, being elongated and arcuate, andmeans for holding the two members in open position, consisting of a shoulder-notch in the upper edge of the lower member adapted to engage the pivotpin end of the intermediate curved part of the upper member. i

In testimony, that we claim the foregoing as our invention we aix our signatures, this 11th day oipAugust, 1926.
